IRIDAS Provides “Back Support” for Micro-Neurosurgeon

 

Richard J. Radna is a spinal Micro-Neurosurgeon. The delicate surgery which he performs requires magnification and the depth perception provided by a stereoscopic operating microscope. 

Surgical assistants use a stereo-3D display, viewed through polarizing glasses to support the surgery. Every operation is recorded stereographically, so that whole the procedure can be reviewed and archived.

"One of the greatest responsibilities of a surgeon is to maintain an accurate record of every surgery," says Dr. Radna. "This is particularly important when secondary surgery is required. Stereo 3D documentation of an earlier operation provides a superb guide for navigating through scar tissue to find vital neural structures. We value FrameCycler because it allows the user optimal data access and customization of stereo 3D viewing. This kind of precision really matters in the work we do."

Dr. Radna M.D., Ph.D., F.A.C.S., practices in Yonkers, New York and teaches in New York City.
